Squat form check

[JPaul]

Hello,
Would like your thoughts on my squat form. Thanks in advance for any help.

My thought is that you're wearing a black hole.

The bar may be too high on your back. Check out the video on this site about bar position. You are on your toes a bit. Think: heels. Go a little deeper. A slightly narrower stance might help with depth, too.

Thanks for your insight.

Could you elaborate? Do you mean I should record with light colored clothing so you can see my position clearly?

This is discussed in the sticky at the top of the forum that no one reads.
We can't provide useful feedback if we can't see you. More light, lighter clothing.

Among the "enhancements" one can do on youtube is Fill Light. This will make a dark video brighter and easier to see.

I learn something new every day. This would qualify. I presume this has to be done when loading the video, though, since it's a post-processing deal?

I believe only the owner of the video can edit, but processing can be done while uploading as well as once uploaded. Improve videos with Enhancements - Android - YouTube Help

I've had a few form videos that were too dark, so I bumped the fill light by a few stops and it was much easier to see.

It can be done after the video is loaded, and it is post processing. But if the clothes are too dark, and the light is bad, and the black gets clipped in the original recording, there's no bringing it back. It's better to wear lighter clothes, as you suggested.
